Mid ruby with lots of evolution at the rim. Like very sweet ink on the nose! Not that complex – really quite forward. By no means classic but it would be a delicious treat quite soon. Non-classic vintage port. (JR)

The 2007 Croft Vintage has a soft, fig and date-scented bouquet that opens up beautifully in the glass, warm and inviting. The palate is medium-bodied with soft, supple tannin, a fine line of acidity and a ripe finish with dark cherries, boysenberry jam and a citric edge lending poise and delineation. There is a nice hint of fieriness on the finish that gives it a little hubris and brio, though not excessively, since that would not be in keeping with Croft’s style.
Blacksh purple. Prunes and smudge on the nose. Very lively and angular and almost lean! Not that much tannin. Nor concentration. Though there are certainly tannins underneath. This may never be an especially concentrated port but it's certainly elegant and scented. (JR)
94g/l RS, 4.7g/l TA. Vibrant blueberries and raspberries, very youthful indeed. Chocolate cherry and lively spirit, high but soft tannins with a very dense core fruit. (RH)
